by Sirhan Sirhan
In 1968, Sirhan Sirhan shot and killed Robert 'Bobby' Kennedy. He kept a largely incoherent journal as "the result of simple stream-of-consciousness ramblings he learned from Rosicrucian literature as ways to improve his life"[1], which was presented at trial - nominally benign 48 pages were overshadowed by an entry on May 18 stating "RFK must die"

  9. ↑ Sirhan joined the occult Rosicrucian Order and Theosophical Society in early 1968, but he claims he does not remember reading anything about the Illuminati. He thought this reference might be connected to Manly Palmer Hall, founder of the Philosophical Research Society. A book by Hall was found in his car after the assassination.
